The Day After the Day After: Revisiting the Houston Texans’ 20-16 playoff-clinching win over the LA Chargers
Playoffs? Playoffs? Why, yes! Let’s review how Houston clinched their playoff berth. The Houston Texans defeated the LA Chargers 20-16 in a playoff-clinching game, largely due to the superior play of Houston's special teams. The Texans' punting game was particularly successful, with Tommy Townsend averaging 50.4 yards/kick and limiting LA's punt returns to only two for 13 yards. Meanwhile, the Chargers' JK Scott had two of his worst punts in the 2nd half, leading to Houston's only two points of the game. Despite these mistakes, the Texans managed to maintain their wire-to-wire lead. The defense was praised for their defensive performances, particularly by their LBs and defensive coordinator Al-Shaair. Despite a strong performance from the Chargers, Houston's road game was marked by numerous penalties and errors.
